Two years in prison for keeping 3 million from the sale of a house in Mallorca in Lewandowski

PalmThe Provincial Court of the Balearic Islands has sentenced a woman to two years in prison for misappropriating more than three million euros from the sale of a property in Mallorca to FC Barcelona footballer Robert Lewandowski. The trial was scheduled for Tuesday, but the defendant admitted to the facts before the hearing began, and the parties reached a plea agreement. In addition to the prison sentence, the court imposed a fine of approximately 1,440 euros and ordered her to pay 1.62 million euros to the affected partners of the company as the perpetrator of the crimes of misappropriation and breach of trust. The court agreed to suspend the execution of the sentence on the condition that she does not reoffend and that she fulfills her civil liability, given that she has no prior convictions and the sentence does not exceed two years. The sentence is final, as neither party has announced an appeal, according to the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands. The events date back to June 2021. According to the prosecutor's indictment, the woman, as the sole administrator of a company, formalized the sale of a property located in the Nova Santa Ponça development, owned by the company, to the Polish striker. At the time of signing the public deed, the player—through his wife—issued a check for 3.51 million euros to the company. A few days earlier, however, the accused had opened a bank account in the name of the company, of which she owned 25% of the shares, and deposited the amount. During the following weeks, she made multiple bank transactions and transferred 3.1 million euros to her personal account without any justification. When she ceased to be the sole administrator, the account balance was 408,593 euros. Furthermore, the sale of the property was carried out without the knowledge of the other owners of the company, who were not summoned to the required general meeting. Two of the partners, holding 50% of the shares and beneficiaries of the compensation, were unaware of both the transaction and the opening of the bank account.
